Abstract
Cheese is made continuously by flowing milk through a spiral flow path of a reactor containing an immobilized enzyme such as rennet which coagulates the milk. The spiral flow path is formed by a spirally wound microporous sheet containing the immobilized enzyme. Adjacent surfaces of the sheet are spaced apart with a spacer which can be a plurality of microporous ribs or a sheet in open net form.
